One man is in hospital after shots were fired inside an apartment building in Montreal’s Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough.

Montreal police (SPVM) received a 911 call at 3 :30 a.m. about the gunfire on Bossuet Street near Sherbrooke Street.

“According to initial information, at least one suspect entered the apartment building and opened fire,” said Sabrina Gauthier, a spokesperson with Montreal police. “The victim was shot in the upper body and was transported to hospital.”

Gauthier notes the life of the 42-year-old man is not considered to be in danger.

“The suspect fled the scene before the arrival of police,” she adds. “At least one bullet casing was found.”
